If they don't actually give us custom coverage assignments then the naming of this "feature" is a massive troll on the playerbase.

Agree. If it isn't how it was before, where you can manually select custom coverage assignments, then it will be a disappointment. I want to be able to shadow the best receiver or find good matchups. Or How tight or loose my defender covers.
But, I think it would go with the old NCAA way. It would conflict with each other. It would have to be either or. If I had to choose, I want custom coverage assignments.

Yeah, Rex mentioned last year how the marketing goes and whatnot. And, I'd say, as a general rule, for most of the people in this forum, and most of the sim guys, we have to wait longer to hear the 'boring' gameplay features that have been improved or tweaked or whatnot. Last, year, they came out with write-ups in their blogs or whatnot that tended to give us the info we wanted. Ball physics, commentary, etc, all seemed to be written about a little after the back of the box stuff. I hope they have a blog or 2 before the EA play event next month, but u never know.

This is pretty much at the pace of previous Maddens. Where now info doesn't start rolling until just over 3 months prior to release. Gameplay and Modes are usually rolled in June. Presentation and Audio is around the same time. Online and MUT is around July. Usually info is done being Released Late July. Then until Release there are a lot of game videos being dropped

Yeah, I mean we do this every year. We have to remember that they don't release every single bit of info on the game on the first day.

I'm not singling anyone out, I'm just saying there tends to be a lot of thought like this every year.

I always get worried with ¤ NEW ¤ features and a new engine in the same sentence. EA was a wicked bad habit of taking several steps backwards when they go to a new system.

Fingers crossed.
